Joyner students participate in a rigorous academic program that integrates real world concepts and skills into curriculum and instruction. The MicroSociety program utilizes an innovative design in which children create a microcosm of the real world inside the school. Each student has a role in running that world — young entrepreneurs produce goods and services, elected officials establish laws, Crime Stoppers keep the peace, judges arbitrate disputes, and reporters track down stories. Technology is used as an authentic vehicle to advertise and communicate. All citizens earn wages in the school’s “micro currency,” invest in product ideas, deposit and borrow money from the “micro banks,” and pay taxes, tuition, and rent.
